Ah, John, you're so cynical, or, should we say "prescient"?  |

Dear Isla Guapa,
Cynical, moi? Perish the thought.
Anybody up for a hiking trip along the Iranian border?
Regards,
John |

| Thanks for the invitation, John, but these days I confine my hiking to the green paths of Chapultepec Park in the heart of Mexico City. |

Dear Isla Guapa,
They may be green, but they are NOT the path to riches and lifetime financial security.
Kind of gives "Take a hike" new meaning, doesn't it? 
Regards,
John |

| "Riches and lifetime financial security". Wow, what a novel concept! I'll have to stay content with my modest pensions and hope the peso-dollar exchange rate continues in my favor. |

With the two hikers freed, a book deal and a movie are inevitable.
For the movie...
Justin Bieber as Shane Bauer
Justin Timberlake as Josh Fattal
Hillary Swank as Sarah Shourd
Gary Oldman as Mahmoud Ahmadinejad
Reese Witherspoon as Hillary Clinton
Morgan Freeman as Barack Obama
Ron Howard will direct. Steven Spielberg will produce.
There will be a red-carpeted, star-studded Hollywood premiere.
The three hikers will receive a cut in profits. They will enjoy royalties from box office, DVD sales, merchandising, etc. Millions will roll into their coffers.
The months of imprisonment, torture, loneliness, sodomy or self-abuse, despair, sadness, fear, desperation, regret, bad food, bad smells, bullying, crying -- could have been worth it...
